In this episode of Biblical Christian Disciplines, we explore the vital role of discipline in evangelism.

We discuss:✅ What biblical evangelism really is (and how it differs from just sharing our story)✅ Practical guidance from Scripture on how to share the gospel effectively✅ Common obstacles that hinder Christians from evangelizing—and how to overcome them✅ The crucial role of prayer and dependence on the Holy Spirit in evangelism✅ How the church can equip and support believers in fulfilling the Great Commission
